As many of you know, our office has been engaged with Calgary Transit over the past few months in an ongoing review of the West LRT Network. We continue to receive a great deal of feedback about both the LRT line itself and the associated bus network. This feedback has been instrumental in directing the focus of the ongoing review, so thank you to those of you who have called or written in to our office or Transit.

When we met with Transit near the end of January to discuss next steps, we determined that it was necessary to undertake a customer survey in order to capture a range of experiences on the LRT and on the buses. Calgary Transit will be conducting this survey starting on Monday, March 11. The survey will be hosted online​ and will be available until at least April.

Calgary Transit will have staff handing out informational cards about the survey at each of the six West LRT stations and their accompanying bus terminals and stops for the next two weeks. Staff will be at each station for three days at varying hours to ensure as many customers as possible have the opportunity to participate.

The survey will ask customers about their impressions and experiences on the West LRT system and the bus service in the region. The final outcome of the survey will be a report highlighting customer impressions, changes to customer choice and transit use. The report will serve as an important guide, along with ridership data, in determining future changes to the West LRT area transit network.

For those who wish to complete the survey but do not have internet access, print copies with pre-addressed and pre-paid envelopes will be made available by calling 403-262-1000.

Below is a schedule of when and where staff will be handing out informational cards.
